Little wonder the Suns are struggling

Little wonder the Gold Coast Suns are struggling this year if one of their star recruits, Karmichael Hunt, is doubling up as Pakistan's Interior Minister.

Cricket Australia demonstrate they are in touch with Gen-Y & can’t manage a Cricket Association, appoint “Pup” Clarke as captain.

Following on from a disastrous Ashes campaign and calamitous World Cup knock-out, the powers-that-be at Cricket Australia (CA) have gone into damage control and appointed Michael “Pup” Clarke as Captain.

Pup takes over the reigns of one of the most successful sports teams in recent history with no history of successful captaincy and poor recent form on the field, though does promise to bring a new breed of supporter to the game; the disinterested supporter.

“This is a brilliant move on behalf of CA” one prominent Marketer commented on the news, “They could have taken a brave step and brought in Simon Katich as a transitional captain, with Ponting and Hussey in support, and started developing new players – but all that would have done is keep the traditional fan base”

“By appointing Clarke, and not Clark, they have ensured that the team will be rudderless and hopeless for years to come. This is sure to drive away the traditional supporters of the game, who, frankly were getting a little tiresome, while attracting a new crowd more interested in what the Captain is tweeting or his hair product.”

“This is a chance for them to go really large on product placement and sponsorship” the marketer continued.

Representatives from the BCCI have failed to officially respond to this change of approach from CA, though it is rumoured that future IPL teams will have to contain Bollywood stars, not just be owned by them, and that any semblance of cricket may finally be removed.
